My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 3236

Nicole looked straight into Jared's eyes and said, "I think you might be on his radar too, so we both need to stay alert and ready."

Jared nodded. "Got it." He was all set to confront Lawrence once and for all.

When they reached the Riddle family manor, they parked the car and joined Lulu and Spencer.

"June and the rest are already inside; let's head in," Lulu said, eyeing Samuel's car parked close by.

"Sounds good," Nicole agreed.

They walked into the living room and saw June and Samuel talking to Benjamin.

"Have you seen Nolan and Lana?" Benjamin looked around, wondering why they weren't there yet, even though Jared and Nicole had arrived.

"Mom and Dad are picking them up. They'll be here soon," Nicole told him.

Just then, Daniel and Gloria came in with Nolan and Lana, and not long after, Dexter, Emma, Ellar, Stanley with Tia, and even Preston showed up.

"Dexter mentioned, "Emery's caught up with work; he couldn't come." "That's fine," Benjamin said, knowing Emery was swamped with his hospital duties and work.

"Gloria mentioned, "Sean's at a big event, and Steve's sticking close to Sally. She's about to have a baby, so he's being cautious." "No worries; it's just a casual get-together. We wanted to spend some time as a family," Benjamin smiled, then asked Nicole, "How's everything on your end?"

Nicole responded, "It all went well, even though the results were a bit surprising." She chose to share the news about Everett with Benjamin and told him everything.

After a moment of silence, Benjamin let out a long sigh and said, "Let's put that behind US now."

He thought it was pointless to dwell on past problems or seek revenge, especially since Everett was no longer alive.

Dillon looked concerned and asked, "Has anyone figured out who did it?" He thought to himself, 'Who would be bold enough to do this? It seems like a direct challenge.'

Nicole replied, "We're not sure yet, but we've got some suspects. We've left it with the Interpol." She chose not to share too much so as not to worry the family about the possible danger from Lawrence.

She figured Lawrence was most interested in the Fire Crest and Water Crest and probably wouldn't risk exposing himself or targeting her family unless it was absolutely necessary. She didn't want to cause any unnecessary alarm.

Lulu tried to lighten the mood, "Grandpa, even though the news isn't great, it means we can look forward to peaceful times now, which is actually good news." "Right, and we have plenty of happy occasions coming up, like Stanley and Tia's wedding," everyone else joined in.

At that, everyone looked at Stanley and Tia, who smiled and nodded.

"That's what we're focusing on now," they agreed.

"Exactly, and with Sally about to have a baby soon, our family is really filled with joy," someone added.

"Hey Tia, we're going to be family soon," someone teased.

Tia blushed and looked down shyly.

Stanley then made a light-hearted joke. "Don't forget about the generous gifts you all promised!" making everyone laugh.
